🎉Compass Club Founder Hits A Milestone! 🎉🎊🥳
This week’s movers and shakers.
  • Mike Keesee, FAIBD (FL), has reached the elusive 100 Point Plateau! Mike recruited his 9th Professional member since July 1. Together with three Associate members, he’s accumulated 21 points this fiscal year, and it’s not even half over. Mike founded the Compass Club in 2001 and was awarded Design of the Year for doing so. In 2010 he reached 50 points, earning his CC Diamond Level Pin. A new form of recognition will be introduced at this year’s Annual Compass Club event in Nashville (August 3, 2023). Thank you, Mike! For such a great idea, and for working so hard to spread the word for AIBD!
